Division Overrides Independent Media Watchdog

This provision grants the Division supremacy over the National Media Commission, an independent constitutional body established to protect press freedom. When their roles overlap, "the functions of the Division shall prevail"—subordinating an independent constitutional institution to an executive agency whose Director is appointed by the President (14). This eliminates the institutional check that the National Media Commission provides against executive overreach in regulating speech and media, concentrating all authority over misinformation, disinformation, and hate speech in a single executive-controlled entity with no independent counterweight.
